We stayed on April 17-18, 2013. Upon arrival by taxi we were a bit surprised that this was a hotel. It is located on a steep hillside on a narrow street. We were greeted by a friendly desk clerk who didn’t speak much English who led us to our room on an upper floor overlooking the lane, with a small... More

This hotel has a great location next to Bairro Alto, in a quiet backstreet. The staff are very helpful and it is possible to park in the street outside the hotel(they have some parkingspots for the hotel). We got upgraded to a suite, which was great.

Lovely people manage this hotel - very friendly and helpful. If it were in a different neighborhood, I would rate it higher. If you plan to take advantage of the Lisbon's nightlife, budget extra for taxis (and carry directions - twice a taxi missed the turn off). The street is very dodgy and poorly lit. If you choose to skip... More

As some of the other reviews do a good job of describing the renovated facility, I'll skip that. We had two rooms, both larger than a typical small hotel usually has and the new bathrooms are very nice. It is not an easy walk to other attractions or restaurants although doable for most people, but the very helpful staff offered... More

This is unfortunately not a four star hotel. 3 star at best but I personally would rate it 2 stars. The hotel is situated on top of steep hill about 20-30mns from airport with fares about 15-20€. very noisy at night and also in very dodgy looking side of town especially at night. Great location though and within walking distance... More

Stayed there for 3 nights. Nothing to complain at all. Breakfast is awesome and contains various items to be chosen from a menu. Don't expect a 5 star hotel for the price of 3 stars. It's a little noisy from the floor. Location is very good. Try to get a room on 4th or 6th floor. From here u'll have... More

Just returned from a four night stay at this hotel with friends. We had booked two rooms but asked if an upgrade was possible and were lucky that two suites were available. The (very small) staff were helpful and pleasant and we were surprised that the receptionist also doubled up as waitress for the breakfast service. Breakfast was quite good... More

My wife and I liked this little place; the staff were particularly nice and helpful always. We had one of the smaller rooms (perhaps we weren't upgraded as we were staying for 4 nights) which was fine, though it is a pity there are no tea and coffee facilities in the rooms, though you can get these from the lobby....
